Abstract
Nanofluidic diodes and ionic solutions find application in electrochemical circuits for information processing, controlled release, and signal conversion in hybrid devices. Here, we describe a physical model that accounts for the memory effects observed in conical nanopores in terms of the driving signal and ionic solution characteristics. The concepts invoked describe the device operation on the basis of the electrical interaction between the pore surface charges and the nanoconfined ionic solution. The physical insights provided can explain the experimental dependence of the nanofluidic tunability on the amplitude and frequency of the driving signal, the ionic concentration, and the solution pH. The model should also be useful for the design of electrochemical circuits based on ionic conduction in asymmetric memristors.
